Gotta be more nimble Dag! The good old "land of the free..." has now
decided to persecute (prosecute if you believe they are doing the right
thing) their U.S. Citizens who went off-shore many years ago and have
never returned. They wanted to run an on-line gambling biz in accordance
with the laws of the host country. Now our gov't is going to extradite
(or kidnap?) them and charge them with racketeering and violation of
U.S. gambling laws even though *none* of their activities actually took
place in any physical location of the U.S.

I hate what we have become.

Give the good old U.S. time. We'll find a way to make *our* laws apply.
Maybe another invasion?
